HYPE Explodes 57% in 72 Hours as Hyperliquid Trading Surge Fuels Breakout

  • HYPE jumped 58% to $33, hitting an eight-week high after over $32 million in short positions were liquidated amid surging platform activity.
  • Commodities are driving record volume, with silver and gold perpetuals pushing HIP-3 open interest to a new $935 million peak.
  • HIP-3 is decentralising market creation, allowing independent teams to launch competing exchanges.

Hyperliquid’s HYPE token jumped 23% in 24 hours to about US$33 (AU$50.49), extending a three-day gain of 58% and briefly tagging an eight-week high near US$34.50 (AU$52.79). 

Over the past 72 hours, liquidations in leveraged HYPE trades topped US$34 million (AU$52 million), with about US$32.2 million (AU$49 million) coming from short liquidations. At the same time, open interest rose 48.7% to roughly US$1.82 billion (AU$2.7 billion), signaling fresh leverage entering the market as the price pushed higher.

Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 Taking The Lead 

The move coincided with a sharp pickup in trading activity on Hyperliquid’s commodities-linked perpetuals, especially gold and silver. 

A separate milestone on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 ecosystem helped pull attention back to the venue. Combined open interest across HIP-3 decentralised perpetual exchanges hit a new high of about US$935 million (AU$1.4 billion), while daily trading volume across those markets reached a record US$1.78 billion (AU$2.7 billion).

The flow appears to be coming from “tradfi-style” perpetuals (crypto contracts that track real-world benchmarks like commodities) rather than only majors like BTC and ETH. Silver alone saw more than US$1.25 billion (AU$1.9 billion) in 24-hour volume on Monday, ranking behind only Bitcoin and Ether on the platform.

As Crypto News Australia reported, HIP-3 is the structural driver behind that growth. Instead of one central order book, Hyperliquid lets outside teams launch their own perpetual markets on its rails by staking HYPE and competing on liquidity and pricing. The idea is that multiple competing books tighten spreads and deepen liquidity, making it easier for traders to enter and exit without heavy slippage. 

Hyperliquid CEO Jeff Yan said the platform has become “the most liquid venue for crypto price discovery,” pointing to improving spreads and order-book depth.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
